Description

Must have read The Giver by Lois Lowry for a better understanding. This is something I wrote as a school activity for my reading class and I got a good grade so I thought what the heck why not put it here on Wattpad. Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war, fear, or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the community. When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from an old man known as The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the ture pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back. As The Giver transfers the memories, Jonas discovers the disturbing truths about his utopian world. This science fiction novel by 1994 Newbery Medal winner Lois Lowry captivated millions of readers. However, many people were frustrated with the ending as they were often left with unanswered questions. What really happened? The ending of The Giver has been interpreted in two different ways. Perhaps Jonas is remembering his Christmas memory - one of the most beautiful that The Giver gave him - as he and Gabriel are freezing to death, falling into a dreamlike coma in the snow. Or perhaps Jonas does hear music and, with his special vision, is able to perceive the warm house where people are waiting to greet him.
